Polar Bear I

During the Arctic summer around the Hudson Bay, polar bears fast and spend most of their time resting. Their white coat provides a strong contrast to the fireweed.

This is my favorite photograph of all time! I love polar bears and seeing this one in a field of my favorite purple flowers is incredibly heartwarming for me! Thank you Michale Poliza for sharing your beautiful work with all of us.

Don't know which part of The Antarctic this was taken. Polar Bears live in the Arctic
